Very sound advice. Having a 9-5 is so much hated at the moment, everyone around wants the 4h day work and quit their job. But at the same time those who did have a hard time, work many times more, don't have a weekend or holiday, and one time I even got blamed for doing a 9-5 and "having it easy" while they were struggling so hard. Building bit by bit until you have something decent enough to support you seems the way to go.
